Feuchtwanger, Lion [Translated from the German by Willa and Edwin Muir]

(Book #ID 11541)

Published by Hutchinson & Co. Ltd., 34-5-6 Paternoster Row, London First English Edition 1935. 1935.

First English edition hard back publisher's black original cloth covers, oxidised gilt stamping to spine. Thick 8vo 7¾" x 5½" 600, 64 [pp] catalogue dated Autumn 1935, contents page present. Author's postscript : Here ends the second of the three novels on the historian Flavius Josephus. The novel "Josephus" was originally intended to contain only two parts. The second, final volume was sketched out to the end and a great part written in 1932, when the first was published. But when the National Socialists looted my house in Berlin in March 1933, they destroyed the manuscript of that final volume, as well as the historical material that was also there. To restore the lost part in its original form proved to be impossible. I had learned a great deal more about the theme of "Josephus"- Nationalism and world-citizenship - the material burst its earlier mould, and I was compelled to divide it into three volumes. Sporadic foxing to end papers, light rubbing to edges and corners, no dust wrapper. Member of the P.B.F.A.
